Whether ducks are removed due to collecting a Formation Card or playing a card like Abducktion or Body Snatcher, place them immediately back into the UFO and shake it up before drawing new ducks. New ducks placed down must be random — no cheating!

No, you can choose to not collect it (you may be saving your ducks for a higher value Formation Card, or just because you’re slacking off).

Nope. All ducks behave the same and are of equal amounts in the UFO. (Though, this changes with GLITTER DUCKS in the expansion game — you should totally buy it.)

We are in full compliance with intergalactic ethics code 34.8b; all duck research subjects are treated humanely throughout our research. Once complete, subjects are memory wiped and returned unharmed to their habitat.

Nope. The ducks on your board must match the shape and orientation of the ducks on the Formation Card to collect it.

Nope. For instance, if you have a line of five same-color ducks, you can’t collect a Full House Card — you must have a line of three ducks of one color, and two ducks of another color. Nice try.

You may use an Action Card on another intern’s ducks only if the card says it may be played on an opponent’s board, but you may still only do this during your own turn. You may only claim Formation using the ducks on your own board.

“Next to” means ducks that are in adjacent ponds either horizontally or vertically. Diagonally doesn’t count!

Select any three ducks on your board (they don’t have to be next to each other) and place them back into the UFO, but don’t move your remaining ducks downstream. Randomly select three new ducks from the UFO at once, and then choose on which of your empty three ponds you’d like to place each duck. Nifty!
